�Much better.�

The only issue with the Fire of Destruction was this extreme hunger that came afterward.

�But this time was much better than the time at the Ten Finger Mountains because I didn�t cough up blood-�

He could not finish his thought.

Cough.

Cale coughed, and blood seeped into Choi Han�s clothes.

�Damn it.�

Cale realized something after seeing that he was coughing up blood.

�There�s always blood when the Vitality of the Heart moves with urgency.�

This was the case whether it was the Plaza Terror Incident, the Ten Finger Mountains incident, or the recent incident in the Empire when he used the shield again. Whenever he used a significant amount of strength, the Vitality of the Heart would urgently start to work in order to restore his health. It always made him let out one bloody cough.

�But I feel so much better.�

It always made him feel better afterward.

Cale was relieved that something terrible like coughing up blood while eating apple pie did not happen and looked toward Raon.

��What are you doing?�

��Nothing, human.�

Cale could see a piece of apple pie flying away as dust. He could also see the poisonous fog starting to come out of On and Hong�s bodies.

He had an iffy feeling about it all as he patted Choi Han�s back. Shouldn�t he at least apologize for getting blood on him?

�Sorry.�

��It was not a problem.�

Choi Han responded after a while. That made Cale think that Choi Han was annoyed that there was blood on his back but had calmed himself down.

Even he would have been angry if it had happened to him.

Cale wanted to move away from the angry Choi Han. He had filled his belly with apple pie, so he could probably walk on his own now.

�I should be okay to get off now. Let�s start moving again once you put me down.�
